Gartner® 2022 Market Guide for Insider Risk Management
Solutions
In 2022, data protection strategies have had to evolve to encompass hybrid and remote workforces, increasing reliance on contractors and third parties, and a giant leap in digital transformation to accommodate these changes and keep employees productive. And we now know this shift is long term, rather than a temporary solution for the immediate gaps created by the sudden move to remote work.
Code42's own research is cited as evidence in the Market Guide, and substantiates just how significantly data leaks are growing with the workforce shift during the past two years - over half (55%) of respondents are concerned that employees have become lax in their cybersecurity practices/protocols, and 73% report Insider Risk is a big problem within their company.
Gartner found that the increase in a hybrid and remote workforces, compounded with vendor integration, has prioritized Insider Risk management as a focus area for security and risk management leaders.
Key Findings:
- Gartner recommends developing a formal Insider Risk program
- Security and risk management leaders are looking for technology that leverages context and automation
- Mandatory capabilities of enterprise IRM platforms are outlined
- Gartner believes that the hazards of poisoning organizational culture outweigh any perceived benefits of productivity tracking
